The lawsuit, filed March 30 in Oakland County Circuit Court, comes as debate heats up over whether Michigan should allow wolf hunting after the Trump administration stripped gray wolves of federal Endangered Species Act protections last year.
The civil suit accuses Eichinger of attempting to “stack the deck in favor of wolf hunting” on a group that, by law, must include Eichinger or a designee, plus members representing conservation, hunting or fishing interests, tribal government, agriculture and animal advocacy.
Although the advisory council cannot make decisions about whether Michigan should have a wolf hunt that task is reserved for the Michigan Natural Resources Commission its advice could influence the commission’s eventual decision.
